Description
About us
At the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), we believe research has the power to change lives
As the Government of Canada’s health research investment agency, we fund world-class research across the country. Led by talented teams based mostly at universities and hospitals, this research is critical to:
- Better diagnose, treat, and even prevent disease;
- Understand the complexities of health, including everything from basic cell biology to the social and environmental factors that can affect us;
- Strengthen our health care system using data and evidence-based models of care; and
- Support the development of policies and programs that can improve the health of individuals and entire communities.
In short, health research is one of the most important investments we can make as a nation—and at CIHR, we are incredibly proud to support this work.
